Description An account of the resource This chapter explores the redefined role of critical thinking in the AI-powered Academicscapes. It highlights how employing analytical skills through prompting and effective human oversight of AI outputs can augment learning without replacing human cognition in AI-driven academia. It proposes strategies to craft effective prompts to enhance the quality of the AI outputs and to develop the critical thinking skills required to assess the same. These strategies focus on analysing arguments, evaluating evidence, and metacognition while using AI tools for knowledge consumption and creation. These micro-skills are crucial to evaluating the content's authenticity, algorithmic biases and ethical concerns. Furthermore, this discourse includes the broader implications of integrating critical thinking with the learner's lifestyle in academic success and well-being. Finally, the authors suggest a collective effort from the learners, teachers, and policymakers to transform classrooms into progressive learning centres that promote critical inquiry to realise ethical and empowering education. 2025 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
